[ no upstream commit given implicitly fixed through the larger refactoring in c25b2ae136039ffa820c26138ed4a5e5f3ab3841 ]
While auditing some other code, I noticed missing checks inside the pointer arithmetic simulation, more specifically, adjust_ptr_min_max_vals(). Several *_OR_NULL types are not rejected whereas they are _required_ to be rejected given the expectation is that they get promoted into a 'real' pointer type for the success case, that is, after an explicit != NULL check.
One case which stands out and is accessible from unprivileged (iff enabled given disabled by default) is BPF ring buffer. From crafting a PoC, the NULL check can be bypassed through an offset, and its id marking will then lead to promotion of mem_or_null to a mem type.
bpf_ringbuf_reserve() helper can trigger this case through passing of reserved flags, for example.

All three commits, that is b121b341e598 ("bpf: Add PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL support"), 457f44363a88 ("bpf: Implement BPF ring buffer and verifier support for it"), and the afbf21dce668 ("bpf: Support readonly/readwrite buffers in verifier") suffer the same cause and their *_OR_NULL type pendants must be rejected in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals().
Make the test more robust by reusing reg_type_may_be_null() helper such that we catch all *_OR_NULL types we have today and in future.
Note that pointer arithmetic on PTR_TO_BTF_ID, PTR_TO_RDONLY_BUF, and PTR_TO_RDWR_BUF is generally allowed.
